Historically, there were different naming in use for the
same architectures within different groups/projects. For
example, amd64 architecture (Debian name) is also known as
x86_64; arm64 and aarch64; and so on. Qemu used one way
to name the binaries, debian used another, some architectures
are named the same way, while for other architectures there's
a difference.
Starting with debian qemu-user package version 8.0, we
provide debian-compatible naming scheme for qemu-$arch
binaries, to be used as qemu-${DEB_HOST_ARCH}. For
example, qemu-armel is a symlink for qemu-arm.
In particular, the following extra names are provided:
amd64 => x86_64
arm64 => aarch64
armhf => arm
armel => arm
loong64 => loongarch64
powerpc => ppc
ppc64el => ppc64
The other names do match between qemu and debian.
There's another name which is also provided but which is
neither in debian nor in qemu: it is ppc64le, which is
the name used for this architecture in the linux kernel.
starting with version 9.0.2+ds-7, qemu-user provides
statically linked binaries which were previously provided
by qemu-user-static, while dynamic binaries are not built
anymore.
